A Replacement Bride

Chapter 90

"M-Mr. Levisay, what do you mean?" Jordan looked at Joaquin sullenly as he suddenly felt embarrassed for making such an accusation. Joaquin knew that Katherine was innocent, yet he still played along, which made Jordan feel like a clown. Jordan's face was blushing as he'd never been that embarrassed in his whole life.

Joaquin then raised his brow and looked over at Jordan. "You should have admitted it if you're incompetent. Is it that hard to own up to your mistakes? Does it make you feel better to put the blame on someone else?"

Joaquin's remarks were a slap in the face for Jordan, but he could only keep quiet as he had no grounds to refute them. "Joaquin, we were just distraught at the incident because we have been planning everything for a long time, and it hadn't been an easy task for our brothers to sneak into their respective posts. However, all of our hard work will be going down the drain, and our brothers might lose their lives anytime soon." One of the men standing behind Jordan could no longer suppress his emotions and cried as he said those words.

Hearing that, Joaquin merely glanced at him and didn't say a word. At the same time, Katherine stopped her footsteps and turned around to look at them. She knew what Area Seven represented, as she had heard about it numerous times when she was in Fontan. She was actually intrigued by Joaquin's identity, as he managed to lead Area Seven at such a young age which proved that he was a man of high caliber.

"Joaquin, many of them had started going undercover in their teens, and some of them had been doing it for more than 20 years. I just felt that this isn't fair for them."

"Joaquin, we have promised Florence that we will go for a drink when he's back. My children have already grown up, but he is still stuck there. How are we going to let his parents know if he had died because of the data leak?"

After one of them cried, the others started crying as well. They were all grown men, and yet, they cried like a baby. Katherine stood still as she looked at all of them. Most of them had been selected to join and train at Area Seven since they were young, so they didn't get to spend much time with their families, which was the same case for the ones who were undercover. To Katherine, they were just strangers, but she was touched by how thoughtful they were toward their comrades.
